Below the surface of British Columbia's lakes, rivers and coastal waters lies a fascinating history. Ships, boats, villages and even a campsite covered by a rising ocean almost 10,000 years ago, provide a rich variety of sites for the underwater archaeologist.
Since 1975, the UASBC, a non-profit group of divers and non-divers, has systematically worked to identify, locate, survey and protect many of these historic resources for the benefit of future generations.
Divers and non-divers are invited to Explore BC's underwater heritage with the UASBC.
